Abstract

An article clamp (10) of the band type including an elongated flexible band (11) having on one side a plurality of spaced teeth (20) and a head (14) having a chamber (22) for receiving screw (23) for cooperation with the teet h (20) on the band (11), a proximal end (12) of the band (11) being connected to the proximal end (15) only of the head (14) such that the distal end (16) of the head (14) is spaced from and free of the band (11), the head (14) furthe r having a passage (30) therethrough for receiving a distal end (13) of the ba nd (11) to form the band (11) into a loop.

Claims (18)

1. An article clamp comprising:
an elongated flexible band, said band having on one side a plurality of spaced teeth, said band having a proximal end and a distal end, a head having a chamber for receiving screw means fear cooperation with said teeth on said band, said chamber having a longitudinal axis and said head having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of said band being connected to said proximal end only of said head and extending away therefrom at an acute ankle to said head relative to said longitudinal axis of said chamber such that said distal end of said head is spaced from and free of said band, said head further having a passage extending longitudinally therethrough from said proximal end to said distal end for receiving said distal end of said band to form said band into a loop, and said screw means being adapted in use to cooperate with said teeth on said band such that when said screw means is rotated in a first direction, said loop is decreased in size to clamp around a said article.
2. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said band has a main body carrying said teeth, said train body having a substantially constant cross section along its length up to its connection to said head.
3. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein said band includes a section extending from the proximal end of the head which is of an arcuate configuration longitudinally of said band, said band section being free of said teeth.
4. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said teeth comprise a plurality of raised lugs formed integrally with and extending transversely of the band.
4. A clamp as claimed in claim 3 wherein said teeth terminate short of opposite side edges of said band.
5. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said chamber is substantially circular in cross section so as to closely accommodate the screw means but permitting rotation thereof about said longitudinal axis.
6. A clamp as claimed in claim 5 wherein said chamber is open at the distal end of the head to allow insertion of the screw means therein and is closed by a wall at its proximal end for cooperation with an inner end of the screw means.
7. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said screw means is in the form of a worm screw provided with a shank having a thread thereon for cooperation with the teeth of the band.
8. A clamp as claimed in claim 7 wherein said worm screw includes a head provided with screw slot for engagement by a screwdriver for rotation of said warm screw.
9. A clamp as claimed in claim 7 wherein said worm screw includes a head, said head being shaped so as to be adapted far cooperation with a spanner or socket tool.
10. A clamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said head includes a main body in which said chamber is located.
11. A clamp as claimed in claim 10 wherein said passage is of re-entrant form in cross section such that the band can be captured therein.
12. A clamp as claimed in claim 11 wherein said passage is intersected along its length by said chamber to define an entrance into said chamber through which said teeth of said band project for engagement by said screw means.
13. A clamp as claimed in claim 10 wherein said head includes a planar wall spaced from said main body and wherein said passage is defined between said planar wall and said main body.
14. A clamp as claimed in claim 13 wherein said connection between said band and said head is made between said wall at the proximal end of said head and said band, said band extending at an acute angle away from said wall and in the direction of said head.
15. A clamp as claimed in claim 14 wherein lateral extensions are provided on opposite sides of said band to provide additional support to said band at its connection to said wall.
16. A clamp as claimed in claim 13 wherein a flexible finger aligned with said wall extends beyond the connection of said band to said wall, said flexible finger being sandwiched in use between said band and article.
17. A moulded plastics article clamp comprising:
an elongated flexible band, said band having a proximal end and a distal end, a head formed integrally with said band and having a chamber therein, said chamber having a longitudinal axis and said head having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of said band being connected to said proximal end of said head and said band extending away from said head at an acute angle to said head relative to said longitudinal axis such that said distal end of said head is spaced from and free of said band, said head further having a passage therethrough extending from said proximal end to said distal end for receiving said distal end of said band to form said band into a loop, and a worm screw in said chamber for cooperating with said band whereby rotation of said screw in a first direction about said longitudinal axis causes said loop to be decreased in size to clamp around a said article.
18. A clamp as claimed in claim 117 wherein said band has a train body carrying said teeth and wherein said main body has a substantially constant cross section up to its connection with said head.
